And bathed him in the healing flood;
Then, rising from the holy stream,
No loathsome leprosy is seen;
No tainted blood his system knows,
But, pure the healthful current flows;
No sickly scales his flesh deform,
Like the fair child’s, now soft and warm,
With joyful heart, and thankful praise
To Israel’s God, he lifts his eyes;
“There is no God, but Israel’s God;”
